So I'm currently reading The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag. Its turning out to be a pretty good book but also very tragic!
As for Koreans doing what they say they will....
Enzongcha informed me that her nephew who I was supposed to meet on Monday was too busy to have English lessons so that didn't happen. In my free time I headed to Kyobo and bought my new book and the game of Scrabble! I played it with all of my students so far and it has been a hit! When I say Scrabble I mean junior scrabble so in playing scrabble I mean matching the letters with the letters already on the board... anyways its been fun!
I've talked to Danny a few times now and he has looked up tickets to Thailand again because he didn't buy them and now they are 100,000won more each! So we are thinking about going a different route and going with a tour group. Supposedly we will pay 450,000won and get a round trip plane ticket and 5 days and 3 nights in a nice hotel with tours around Bankok and Phuket. I think this could be a good solution because it would be nice to have a tour guide. We are checking to see if we can extend our stay a few days so we can relax on the beach but either way I'll be happy... Its gonna cost us a little though! If I could go back in time I would have saved up a lot more money before I came here!!
Other than that Eddie started teaching two new boys tonight and I think it was successful because he's going back next week! Jane's mom finally paid me the extra money she owed me and I was grateful she handed me the money and I didn't have to bring it up. What had happened was I worked 5 times in January and she only paid me for 4 then I worked 3 times in February and she only paid me for 2 so I was becoming kind of frustrated with the situation but she just handed me an envelope today so I was very relieved! The only thing was I was teaching her son for 15 minutes each time I taught her daughter so she was paying me an extra 10,000 for the 15 minutes then her son couldn't take lessons anymore so I taught her daughter for and hour and 15 minutes but in the envelope she only paid me for 2 hours!! ARG! Well I guess I'm just happy to have that settled (kind'a)!
My friend Summer who is Korean but grew up in China is coming back from her vacation to China so I am hoping to get together with her soon!!
Stephanie is coming home from Japan tomorrow so we are gonna meet up this weekend and thats about it for today!!
